IN CONVERSATION WITH KAREN & SALMA

Sex, Red Wine and Raw Dark Chocolate and Why It’s All Good for You!

Below is just a small sampling of what JJ Virgin talked about with Karen & Salma

If you want to get fit, it’s not just one thing. You really have to take a completely integrated approach because your body is not a bank account, it’s a chemistry lab and it’s a history book and it’s a party!

The benefits of raw dark chocolate, glass of red wine and sex with a partner.

Managing stress and getting seven to nine hours of high-quality sleep every night, which has been proven to aid in weight loss.

Trademarked 4×4 Workout, an intense resistance-training program that splits the body into four areas: upper body pulling, upper body pushing, hips and thighs, and power core. (Her 4×4 Workout is free for all listeners)

“Intensity rules,” she adds. “Exercise is only exercise if you’re getting hot and sweaty and it hurts.”

She shares her Green Smoothie recipe and talks about the benefits of coconut

How genetic tools are now at the forefront of weight loss issues

Which sweeteners are okay and which you want to avoid at all costs (you’re going to be surprised at some of these)
